alleryThe semi-permeable membrane of glomerulus and Bowman's capsule, where blood is filtered, is called the:
ARenal corpuscle (Malpighian body)
BCollecting duct
CHenle's loop
DUreter
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Renal corpuscle (Malpighian body)
1. The combination of GLOMERULUS (capillary tuft) inside BOWMAN'S CAPSULE is the renal corpuscle, a.k.a. Malpighian body.
2. Site of ultrafiltration: blood pressure forces small molecules (water, urea, glucose, salts) out into the capsule.
3. Then reabsorption (water, glucose, useful salts) happens in PCT, Henle, DCT.
